Surgery to treat autonomic dysreflexia due to cubital tunnel syndrome in cervical spinal cord injury: a case report.
Article in Spinal cord series and cases, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionAutonomic dysreflexia (AD) is a potentially fatal syndrome in people with spinal cord injury (SCI) marked by episodic hypertension with flushing, diaphoresis, and bradycardia. Common etiologies include bladder distension and bowel impaction. Compressive neuropathies lack attention as a potential precipitant of AD. This report describes an individual with cervical SCI and with recurrent AD treated with ulnar nerve decompression surgery. CASE PRESENTATION: A 74-year-old woman with a remote history of C6 SCI (American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale Grade B) presented to clinic with recurrent episodes of AD that had been refractory to standard treatment measures. History and clinical examination were suggestive of ulnar nerve compressive neuropathy at the elbow - cubital tunnel syndrome. The diagnosis was confirmed with electrodiagnostic studies and neuromuscular ultrasound. Treatment with surgery successfully resolved her episodes of AD. DISCUSSION: This case identifies compressive neuropathy as a treatable cause of AD in individuals with cervical SCI. When more common etiologies of AD are excluded, clinicians should consider compressive peripheral neuropathies as potential causes of AD. Surgical decompression may alleviate symptoms of AD in select cases. Further research should investigate the prevalence and optimal management of compressive neuropathy in people with SCI.
